Like all meaningful relationships that survive and flourish throughout the years, that of a teacher-student needs care, time and devotion from both sides. In that case, wonders happen that can change one’s life. . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainsipiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogateacher #ashtangateacher #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #vrischikasana #scorpionhandstand #traditional #adjustment #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #ashtangamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #mysorestyle (at Ashtanga Yoga Manila) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbRm1rPfsi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ashtanga Manila will be celebrating its first year and ringing in the holidays on December 7, 2014, Saturday at 4:30 PM at the shalita. We'll be having a Japanese merienda and bubbly. If you want to bring something, you can either add to the menu or cash donations for Yolanda victims. No gifts needed. Let me know for a head count.

Any posture or asana that is difficult will force us to hold our attention in certain places in order to achieve it (aside from the physicality required to do the posture). Even "simple" postures are more difficult when we're asked to focus our gaze, breath, bandhas, etc. That focus is the biggest benefit for me. Yoga should be meditative and gives strengthened awareness on and off the mat.

Through yoga practice we cultivate the habits of sthira (steadiness) and sukham (ease). We breathe through asanas or postures to find balance. The breath is the strongest indicator of sthira and sukham. If we find ourselves laboring, struggling or holding the breath we have lost our ease. If we muscle through with tension or give up our effort we have lost our steadiness. The awareness of sthira and sukham cultivated by linking our breath to our mind and body is a practice to take off the mat and into our daily life. . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #intermediateseries #yoganidrasana #yogicsleep #yogaph #yogamanila #yogaphilippines #ashtangamanila #igersmanila #legbehindthehead #feeltheyogahigh #yogaeverywhere #igyoga #instayoga #fit #fitspo #madaboutyoga (at Yoga+Express Legazpi)

My Teacher Sharathji says that catching keeps the spine from getting hunched in old age, it opens Granthis, which are energetic knots in the body, and it raises the Kundalini.  The Granthis keep the Kundalini from rising. As Kundalini rises, awareness rises. For a lot of people, it is the only pose that you ever get assisted on in the shala as for my observation whenever I'm in KPJAYI. Catching or grabbing the backs of the legs during backbending is something that almost everyone works on. Even if you don’t catch, there will be someone who will help or assist you to walk in as far as you can as if you were going to catch. It is rare for someone to not have to attempt to catch. Whatever I teach to my students are basically what I learned from my trips to Mysore and from my Teacher. This is called ‘Parampara’ which literally means an uninterrupted succession and denotes the direct and unbroken transfer of knowledge from teacher to student. The Ashtanga Yoga Method is founded on parampara and a commitment to its established instruction. ➡️Join our Mysore Morning classes at @yogaplusexpress.legazpi every Mondays to Fridays 6:30am, Saturday Led 7:00am➡️ Our Mysore Evening class Mondays to Fridays except Wednesdays 6:30pm at the Cleveland Tower. ✌😊💙 . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogateacher #ashtangateacher #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #backbend #catching #adjustments #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #ashtangamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #mysorestyle #MysoreMornings (at Cleveland Tower)

Just like any other long-term commitment, there are good times and bad times. There are times that we just want to give up. There are times we doubt ourselves and what we want to do with our time and energy. There are also times of ecstatic joy and opening. There are times of great resistance and other times of ease and lightness. We practice to try our best to know this and try not to be attached. The "good" times are not necessarily better for our growth than the "bad" times or the times that are really challenging. There will even be times when our faith in what we are doing is tested. ✌💙 . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogainspiration #yogalove #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangi #ashtangayoga #urdhvadhanurasana #backbend #dropback #ashtangamanila #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #vsco #intermediateseries #primaryseries #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Yoga+Express Legazpi)

A lot of people are scared to try the Ashtanga Yoga Method especially the Mysore style classes. But learning the Ashtanga Yoga Method in a Mysore setting is the safest and the most beginner friendly way to learn it since the teacher is able to connect and interact with the students to address specific issues and specific aspects of the postures or asanas catered to the students' body framework and way of thinking to name a few. ➡️Join our Ashtanga Mysore style classes Mondays to Fridays 6:30am and Saturdays for a led class 7am at @yogaplusexpress.legazpi and ➡️our Mysore Evening classes at the Cleveland Tower Mondays to Fridays except Wednesdays 6:30pm. ✌😊💙 . . . . . . . #yoga #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #yogateacher #ashtangateacher #yogaph #yogaphilippines #yogamanila #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #prasaritapadottanasana #traditional #adjustment #igersmanila #fit #fitspo #ashtangamanila #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga #mysorestyle #MysoreMornings (at Cleveland Tower)

For me, the very definition of a teacher is to be dedicated and consistent in conduct and in judgement. A certain firmness in belief, and clear perspective is essential. A student must feel reassured that, us, as a teacher, we have a clear idea of what we are about and how this manifest in our teachings. Whether the students agree with all of it or not, they will ulitimately respect us for it. Another reason why humility is always of paramount importance to be cultivated in our own practice. Hopefully, it will also serve to inform our teaching.

The practice of Ashtanga yoga is powerful because it is humbling. It asks the strong to become flexible, the weak to become strong, the bored to become inspired, the excited to relax. It is the perfect balance of yin and yang, and the equalization of the two opposing forces of the sun and the moon. Once that balance is achieved, the mind can remain in dynamic harmony and walk the thin line between extremes. Yoga teaches us how to find this balance within ourselves, so that no matter what happens, we always maintain our peaceful, strong center. 📷: @oksanataranphoto . . . . . #yoga #yogi #yogamen #yogadudes #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogaeverydamnday #yogaformen #yogaforlife #boysofyoga #mensyoga #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #ashtangi #paschimottanasana #paschimattanasana #forwardfold #primaryseries #ashtangamanila #yogamanila #flex #yogaph #yogaphilippines #igersmanila #vsco #fit #fitspo #igyoga #instayoga #madaboutyoga (at Gokulam, Mysore)
